Ok, I'm prepared to take the critics like a man on this one...
First of all, it's important to say that I'm in no way supporting or approving of the topic displayed here. Sometimes I think I am a little too extreme.
Also, I do apologise to the people that have a personal disregard for this topic. Also, thanks to Hugo for being such open minded, because it's such a controversial shot (he has also no deal in this subject).
Also, I see that I'll get a lot of DNMC, because although being shadows, it's not so obvious.
This was done with a cutout with the cross, and then lighted form the right side. The whole face is in shadows, except for the part that shines through.
Let's see how it goes.

Powerful ... definitely invoked a reaction in me. Until I read the title I was a bit offended. I guess thats part of what makes the image so good is that it makes you think.
strange choice... i think maybe you should have make the swastika the shadow and your face brighter. i think it would have met the challenge a little better. also maybe putting it in the middle of your forehead so that you could see the whole thing clearly. good shot over all though (7)
